The Russiagate narrative, a persistent shadow over Donald Trump’s first term, has resurfaced with explosive new evidence. MRC President David Bozell joined Stinchfield Tonight with host Grant Stinchfield on Real America’s Voice to unpack the hoax that consumed headlines from 2016 onward.
Recently unearthed classified documents, revealed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, tie a who’s who of Obama loyalists, including the former president himself, to the fabricated story of Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election. Bozell’s appearance spotlighted the media’s role in perpetuating this web of deceit, which sought to derail Trump’s agenda and distract from the president’s successes.
Initially pushed by the media and Obama’s inner circle, the narrative falsely claimed Trump colluded with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton. Bozell emphasized the absurdity of the claims, stating, “If you really think that $87,000 in Facebook ads tipped the election in favor of Donald Trump, I've got a bridge in Alaska to sell you.” He argued the media’s constant insinuation that Trump was “bought and paid for by Vladimir Putin” caused significant damage, leading to two impeachments, legal battles, and millions in legal fees for Trump’s team, all based on a lie.
Bozell didn’t hold back on the “media’s complicity,” calling out major networks for their role in sustaining the hoax. He criticized CNN for platforming former FBI agent Andrew McCabe, noting, "It's outrageous for CNN to have former FBI agent Andrew McCabe on when he was a central player in this whole deal, and then not ask inquisitive questions about his role in all this.” Bozell also highlighted how CNN and MSNBC hired figures like James Clapper and John Brennan, who continued to peddle the narrative after leaving public service. Now, as Gabbard’s findings bring the “irrefutable” evidence to light, Bozell pointed out the media’s attempts to downplay the revelations, which are framing them as a designed “distraction” from the Epstein Files.
Bozell suggested the potential for “the mother of all defamation lawsuits” against those who orchestrated the hoax, including Obama. Stinchfield suggested, “The mainstream media oughta be charged as co-conspirators in this attempt to run a coup on the United States of America.”
David Bozell serves as President of the Media Research Center and ForAmerica, a leading issue advocacy organization dedicated to defending constitutional rights, including the fundamental right to life at all stages.
